Help Applying for SNAP Food Stamps From Helping Harvest
Helping Harvest Fresh Food Bank helps residents of Berks and Schuylkill counties apply for SNAP benefits, the food assistance many people still call food stamps.
The help is for people who live in Berks or Schuylkill County. SNAP itself has income limits, and the page points to the state's income guidelines at pa.gov rather than printing the figures, so ask the coordinator whether your household is income eligible.
Helping Harvest's SNAP Outreach Coordinator walks individuals and families through the application step by step and follows up after it is submitted. The application can be completed over the phone or in person, based on what works for you.
To get started, contact the SNAP Outreach Coordinator at 610-926-5802 ext. 214 or email Snap@HelpingHarvest.org. There is also a form on the SNAP page at helpingharvest.org/snap-benefits where you can leave your name, email, phone, address, ZIP code, county or borough, comments and your preferred call-back time. That form is not an application for SNAP; it is a request for help with applying.
Helping Harvest is at 117 Morgan Drive, Reading, PA 19608. Its general phone number is 610-926-5802 and its hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
If your household already receives SNAP and you have questions about an open case or need to report a change, call the statewide customer service center at 1-877-395-8930.
The page does not say what documents to bring, how long the process takes, or whether this assistance costs anything, so ask when you call.
